Kitchen Tip: Using Butter to its Fullest

Save those butter papers! When I’m done with a stick of butter, I fold the paper over and place it back in the fridge. I keep them all in the door compartment. When I need to butter a pan, I grab a butter paper and use it to do the job. There is still enough left on the paper to sufficiently grease an 8 inch pan. If you need more, then just grab another sheet. The way I go through butter around here, I have these on hand all the time.  😀 Another benefit is that your hands stay clean since the butter is on the other side of the paper.I’ve noticed that if I let a stick of butter soften on the counter in the paper, then I have extra butter residue left. Don’t throw that gold away ladies. 🙂 Use up every last drop of butter possible!

    My grandma used to do this and I have continued. Friends thought me weird! My grandma grew up in the depression and passed all her frugal ways onto me.

    I do that too, my husband hates it. Every now and then, he goes through and throws away my stash.

    Goodness! My mom always taught me to save the butter papers for greasing cookie sheets when making cookies. But I never did think to save them for any other time. Thank you for the reminder! 🙂

      🙂 Funny thing….I NEVER grease my cookie sheets for cookies. I like how everyone does things differently. Your mama was one smart lady.

    I’m looking for your advice on meat thermometers. I don’t remember if it was a Kitchen Tip Tuesday or not. Can you help me? Thanks!

      I usually just say it’s good to have one. 🙂 They only cost a few bucks and they are well worth the price. Then you will always know your meat is the right temperature inside. Mine is just a simple job from Target.

    I don’t let it go to waste, I scrape it clean and put it in the recipe I’m using, or at least back onto the stick of butter. Don’t have enough room in my fridge to keep butter papers around! Good idea though!

      Even if I get all the butter off, I still find it’s greasy enough to butter a dish! 🙂 And they really don’t take up much space – you could pop them into a Ziploc and store them in the door. 🙂

Often, I have a hard time getting my kids to remember things I’ve taught them, like how to properly clean a toilet or clean mirrors. “I forgot.”⠀
⠀
You know what they don’t forget? Stuff they watch on You Tube. 🤪🤪⠀
⠀
So I went to You Tube and sourced kid videos about cleaning the bathroom. The kids all watched them. ⠀
⠀
Now they’re all cleaning their own bathrooms. Boom. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Worked for us. ⠀
⠀
** Just search on YT for “kid cleaning videos” and see what you find. Different parents have different parameters for what they allow. Barry and I screened videos first but each person can find their own. ❤️🤍

Hard times can make us or break us.

Our family experienced some big changes and shocks and pruning (removing) in 2021. Some days I didn’t want to get out of my house or my bed.⠀
⠀
But already we are coming out of darkness into His wonderful light and I can see - I can see the benefits of hard times. ⠀
⠀
New beautiful growth and hope. ❤️⠀
⠀
What is one benefit YOU have experienced from hard times?
This culture has nothing to offer our family.⠀
⠀
I lived for too long believing that hustle was to the benefit of this family. ⠀
⠀
God’s call upon our life isn’t to hustle and grind our days away while we prove our worth and see our success. ⠀
⠀
No, friends. It’s God’s desire that when people look at you and me, they don’t see US or what WE accomplished but instead say:⠀
⠀
Wow, only God did that. ⠀
⠀
The Myers aren’t building an empire. We are building our family, day by day. Tiny moment by tiny moment. 🤍
